Wow! Very nice indeed! When did you find that thing? Long time ago?

[seb16trs]

Wow! Very nice indeed! When did you find that thing? Long time ago?

near Paris, approximatively in 2000 I believe, because I paid it 400 french francs, so 60 euros. The guy didn't knew what he sold, it was coming from the family. How lucky I was! But I was surely the only guy in this militaria fair to know what was this order...

[Gunner 1]

I have an Order of the Jugoslavian Flag, 4th Class numbered on the reverse '542' and a 5th Class, unnumbered, but with a certificated to 'Marie-Ghislaine Vlekke'. Is there a date for when the numbering ended and the unnumbered versions began to be issued? Gunner 1

[seb16trs]

'Marie-Ghislaine Vlekke'.

probably a belgian citizen?

[Bryan]

For sale right now at Auktionhaus Carsten Zeige. It belonged to a former East German citizen. Strating price of ? 1500. Tehy are selling few things from the former head of the Stasi Erich Mielke. It might have been his order. :speechless1:

[Gordon Craig]

Bryan,

Gorgious looking order. Unfortunately, one must have deep pockets to shop with Zeige.

I am beginning to doubt some of these auctions claiming to be Mielke's items. Just too many of them being offered these days. Thanks for posting this [icture. We'd all like one that looks like this one does.

Regards,

Gordon

Congratulation , this is indeed rare order, as far I know only 769 were granted. The early type has serial number on revers. Will you tell us what s/n if any has this order?

Nice piece with box and ribbons. :cheers:

And the price was 1356 kronen - very cheap if you ask me.

[christerd]

I will post better pics and show the s/n if there is any. The price was 123 Euro so I think it was a bargain.

Now I have to find a certificate

Best regards from rainy Sweden

Christer

[christerd]

Now the Order has arrived and its truly amazing

It has been issued to a Swedish business man but I dont have his name yet, what I do right now is to try and get as many names for people who had this order in the different classes. I have some names alredy but there must be more out there So If anyone has a name for a person awarded to any class of the Yugoslavian Flag please let me know and I will make some simple database.

Here is some more pics of my order it is a later ex without number.

Hi Christerd,

this is a great idea to setup a database with name of awardees.

Since I don't know what name you have I'm sending you some I know:

Great Wlodzimierz !!

A lot of new names , I will now try to get some order in my small base and see how many we can get names to.

Of course its easier to name the 1st class-2nd class like princess Anne of England

But I think by combing the internet we can find at least some names. I found 3 + people from Sweden who got the 1st class and no one was Royal.

Thanks again W ,

This is the first boxed and documented Order of the Yugoslav Flag with Golden Star (4th class) I've seen so far.

It was awarded in 1983 to a Lieutenant-Colonel Jovan Obradović.

It is for sale (220€) here: https://www.falera-et-orbis.com/socialistična-jugoslavija?product_id=1013

I really don't know, I'm curious myself. Hopefully, someone can answer this.
